HASBULLA has slammed Conor McGregor and claimed he will “cause him some problems” if the pair cross paths.
The Russian recently put pen to paper to become the UFC‘s newest signing.
Hasbulla has claimed he does not respect McGregor
McGregor has previously mocked Hasbulla on social media
It comes after a series of social media exchanges between McGregor and Hasbulla.
When Hasbulla named his chicken after the Irish fighter, McGregor, 34, hit back by saying: “I’d love to boot that little g**p Hasbulla over a goal post. How much to get him on the volley?
“I’m gonna make it my mission to score a 3 pointer with him one day, hon the gaa.”
Hasbulla then responded: “Hey uncle Dana White and UFC please make it happen.
“Let me eat this chicken Conor McGregor. I’m hungry, I’ll smash him with my mountain spirit.
“My brother Khabib [Nurmagomedov] smashed him and all his team, now is my time to rise!
“I don’t follow bums… I didn’t know someone was running their mouth, @ me next time.”
And now he has doubled down on his past comments by claiming he does not respect McGregor.
Speaking on the Full Send Podcast, he said: “Yeah, I saw all of his tweets of me.
“But he is not my opponent, he can just talk. He’s not like a fighter for me, I don’t respect him as a fighter.
“And if I meet him, I will cause some problems for him.”
McGregor has not fought since July last year when he suffered a second successive defeat to Dustin Poirier.
And last week, UFC boss Dana White jovially claimed McGregor should not think about getting into the octagon with Hasbulla.
When asked whether McGregor had reached out after the Russian joined the UFC, White replied: “No! He shouldn’t f**k around because he will get his ass whooped if he runs into him on the streets.”
